Damn, those are cool! Never heard of them before, but I kind of want one now. Not that I've been able to find any for sale yet... probably couldn't afford one if I did.

I have an early white Murph, two pickups with vibrato. The early ones have four bolts to the neck, and the later ones three. You see 12 strings around sometimes. They actually aren't expensive at all, and they sound fantastic. They are lightweight and lightly built, maybe a little flimsy feeling but not so much that they're not fun to play.
